'Good Health is Absence of Disease, Well-Being' Can Shirley Allen hear it? wonders Nurse Leona Korttila as she dials a higher frequency pitch in a hearing test. Health is not merely the absence of disease, but a general well-being, says Mrs. Leona Korttila, school nurse. Mrs. Korttila serves students by giving first aid to those who are injured or become ill at school. She also helps them with health problems, and keeps up-to- date information for their use in making special re- ports for health and biology classes. Teachers are informed of any health problems involving their pupils, and parents can consult the nurse about their children at any time.
